binding tower question

Post by Blake Dixon »

I guess this is more directed to John,

I just was wondering if you could send me a photo of the white plastic donut attached to your router base. I am installing this system on a colt and was wondering;

a) Do I attach the donut to the plastic base or just straight to the metal base without the plastic base attached?
b) Inset the screws on the donut side or pre-thread the white plastic donut and screw from the back side of the router base?

If you have any photos that would really be helpful.

Thanks

Blake.

Counter sink the donut from the front or surface that you are putting against the actual guitar?

Thanks
